Ultra Inert Gold Seals
By Agilent Technologies
Agilent gold seals are made with a metal injection molding process that provides a consistent, smooth surface, without ridges and grooves from a machined process. The seals are then polished and gold plated for smooth surface. For convenience, the gold seals are carefully packaged with the inlet seal washer.
To prevent loss of active analytes due to adsorption or decomposition during sample vaporization, Agilent proprietary Ultra Inert chemical deactivation process is available on top of the gold plating making the best sealing surface the most inert.
